Alexander the Great was Croatian just like Nikola Tesla and Marco Polo. No sorry the were all Kosovo* Albanians. Oh that Blue flag with fake map created recently.
That is a flag from centuries ago.
Who says it is new???

Greece and Turkey held many talks.
Macron did, Merkel too. EU, NATO.
To no avail.
And EU issued several warnings to the Turkey.
How Mr Erdoğan deals with the matter is to send in 2 more ships in the disputed area.
Help!
The only thing I do not understand is ISRAEL poking its nose.

Greece is ortodox country and is our duty to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
They have Nato on their side and our help may not be required to give a bloody nose to Turkey.

You are a British but orthodox, and you call the Albanians “siptari “ ? Hmmmm . What’s hiding behind your name

js,
"opanci" have been a part of traditional dressing in the former Yugoslavia. Especially in the remote villages
Since other footwear "opanci" are part of narod a nosnja in rep Serbia.
And I love to see colorful outfits and "opsnci"
We, Serbs are very proud of our traditional nsrodna nosnja.

They must be talks if not, Turkey will win because the other nations will not be willing to use to much force against another NATO member. What side do Serbs side with if needed?
(george56, 15 August 2020 02:48)
===…==
Serbs will NOT be needed because Serbia is not a NATO member. Nothing to do with Serbia.
Isn't it great that Serbia didn't get into NATO. Now what will Montenegro do? What will Croatia do?
BUT, if a war spreads beyond NATO my guess is Serbia will side with Greece.

Will see how it goes but Greece is blackmailing Europe with this story.
(Skenderbeu 1444, 15 August 2020 19:27)
===…==
Disagree, this is not a matter of blackmail but a matter of right and wrong. Now if EU says it's wrong of Turkey to enter these waters because agreement states that, then Turkey is wrong.
Just because Greece doesn't want to start an armed conflict (which is exactly what Turkey wants) doesn't make them wrong. Maybe they don't think they could win alone, again doesn't make them wrong.
The problem here is that one NATO country is provoking another NATO country into war. What will NATO do to fix this is anyone's guess. Turkey needs this conflict as an excuse to flood Europe with "migrant" they have been training for war for a few years now.

As for js post. Please grow up.
This is more serious than the Nike sport shoes.
This is about serious conflict.
And if war between Nato and Turkey do not happend this time it will next time soon.
Because of Turkey the way it is.
Nike? Its laughable they are everywhere. Your post is silly.
(British, 16 August 2020 11:49)
Nikes are as important as anything else, war included. Nikes are an indication that people are taking their cues from ungodly society. Consider the Nike situation. Some guys with large biceps and quick reflexes excel at a sport. A company buys their "name," puts it on shoes, manufactures them in a sweat shop in Bangladesh, and you pay $125 for them. You are proud to throw $75 down the drain just to have your name associated with some athlete who contributed nothing practical to society. Plus those styles are dictated in cities rather than local communities. It's a very bad situation. I wear opanci. I can't do anything about Mediterranean tensions between Turkey and Greece. But I can put opanci on my son's feet, and I can teach him why we love our opanci.

george56,
Sorry, it is the Turkey who started this conflict.And refuses to back off.
Like I say Greece government did talk to the other side to no avail. Its like Serbia talking to Siptari over the years to no results. And one can talk to them until one is blue in the face. All they sign they refer the following day as a loo paper if it is why bother wishing to join internazionsl organisations?
Here,why Mr Erdoğan do not pack his ships and go back home? Would not be that best way for everyone and never enter the waters in question until arbitration Court make a decision.

EU are powerless to stop Turkey. Turkey has the biggest and strongest military in NATO after the USA.
The rest of the EU just rely on USA which Trump want to stop the leeching.

For Concerned Albanian. I liked your comment although I have some things that I think in different way. Greece has never had any hegemony in the Aegean Sea. But NOW is trying to build one, and is using Egypt, US, Israel, France. Is trying to force Turkey in a minor corner. And remember that the dispute on the Aegean is a precedent for the dispute on the Jonian Sea. Greece had the agreement with Italy and now is our turn. Ali Ahmeti is one of the most corrupted politicians albanians have. He ruled with Gruevski and will rule with everybody who guaranties him and his cronies some jobs in public administrate. Ahmeti cares only for his chair as did Gruevski or this guy here Zaev. Turkey won't back down and has all the right to do so. Greece simply pretends that for every rock in the Aegean and the Jonian to have the same exclusive economic rights as for the continental shelf. Its not right. Its not just. And its not fair that Greece tries to throw against Turkey Egypt and Israel. My opinion.

No British I don't that, why can't they support that Turks they are one of Serbia's top ten trading nations??????

I imagine to be at least 78 days of intensive bombing. Unless it spills over into the neighbourhood, albania, kosovo*.
Greeks are very peaceful nation, but they are right to involve NATO.
With Turkey they have tried zjis&that. And patience is running thin.

Get this through your thick head, Macedonia is and alway will be Hellenic, not Albanian or Slavic. Alexander the Great ruled many ethnic groups and unified them under Hellenic laws.
(Jugoslavia, 15 August 2020 16:47)
Hellenic? Is that why all the youth are sporting Nikes? I would say Greece is more a wannabe of New York or Paris than anything traditionally Hellenic. The same goes for the Albanians. The Gorani people, less so.

I am with Erdo and the turks. They are the only ones in this story to declare they have no need for any other state to help them but they will defend till the end their rights. If Greece has the right in it's side why then Greece calls on americans and Israel to send their army? Its not just that a handful of small islands have more right on continental shelf than Turkey has. Greeks are showing themselves as cowards and they want to use this precedent also for Albania when delimitation of economic zones will be discussed. Will see how it goes but Greece is blackmailing Europe with this story.

Greece, ofcourse. That's your answer you have been waiting for.

Geprge56, I seriously doubt that an armed conflict will erupt. Perhaps a few threats and handbags at dawn but no war.
As for Serbia I suspect they will do their best to stay out of it. But if push came to shove I think that they will support Greece, as always. Why would they support the Turks when history shows that Turkey was an imperialist invading force which enflicted much death and destruction not only to Serbs but to other Balkan peoples.

With all three NATO members, bordering Greece’s northern flank, compelled to lean toward regional-power Turkey, Greek hegemony in the Aegean is long dead. The determining factor prevaricates with Ali Ahmeti seizing the Macedonian throne. Ahmeti the commander, the visionary, the conqueror; only he has the courage to reunify the kingdom of Macedonia. The Bulgarians will pay homage to his likeness. For the Turks, the ultimatum must be delivered in the form of a red herring. Lessons learnt from the failings of Pearl Harbor are derived by obliterating the enemy’s military assets to the point of no return, if indeed the Turks are to save face with the Arab League. Greek campaigns in making international collect calls to its unholy Muslim ally will surely go unanswered. Ishmael stands in solidarity with a unified and independent Cyprus, and offers its heart and soul to the bereaved belligerents of Greece.
